Literature in My Life. My Favourite Book.

Literature is of great importance for everybody. Literature is a rather complex thing. There are many genres of literature. As a rule, one mentions prose, drama, and poetry. Prose maybe written in the form of a novel, a short story, or an essay. A piece of poetry may take the form of an ode, a sonnet, an epic.

Since the very early days of our lives, we either are read books or later read them ourselves. Books have been there for thousands of years. They have accumulated all the wisdom of the human race. When we are read fairy tales or poems for children, we learn simple truths about nature and relationships among people. The more we are read in early childhood, the more we will know about life and find our own place in life.

Then we start reading books ourselves. Books are the basis for the development of a personality. By reading books, one gets to know different thoughts of different people. In a way, we live a whole new life any time we read a new book.

I personally can’t imagine my life without books. At school, we have to read a lot of classical literature. I think this is very important that we come to know with the treasures of our culture. These treasures have been tested by time and have come to our times without losing their topicality. At the same time, there are many books that are not included in the school programme, which are also very interesting and useful.

Books may help one to forget his or her problems. With the help of books, we can travel in time back to any age or in future worlds. We can fly into space, climb mountains, and go deep down the oceans. Unlike television, when we mostly just sit and watch, books require active involvement of imagination. I am sure one must read at least fifty pages every day. This will help keep your brain fit at any age. Such a pity seems to become less exciting than before. At least that’s what parents always tell me. I do agree with them.

At my home, there are many books. My parents, my sister and I have our own bookshelves, where we keep our most loved books. Very often, we give each other a book as a present.

Knowing a foreign language, gives a possibility to read masterpieces of world literature in the original. Even very talented translators may not be able to express the same meanings quite so vividly and precisely as a certain foreign writer.

I have read several books in English. One of my most favourite ones is a novel called “To Kill a Mockingbird” by an American writer Harper Lee. The novel is full autobiographical details. The novel takes place in a small town Maycomb, which is very similar the writer’s own native town. The novel’s main character, Atticus Finch, was a lawyer just like Lee’s father. The book deals with many important questions. One of the most significant is whether people are generally good or evil. This question is answered in describing the life of two children, Scout and Jem. The novel tells how they assume that all people are good. They seem to believe that all people are good in their childhood because have never seen evil. As people grow older they come across evil. They start to realize that evil is part of life and one has to admit this fact. Atticus Finch is a very experienced man who has met and understood evil and managed to lose his belief that people can be good. Atticus is of the opinion that people cannot divided simply into good and bad ones. He thinks that most people have both good and bad qualities. Atticus tries to teach that wisdom to Jem and Scout. I think this book is very educative. It helps young people better understand the nature of relationships among people. With time, I realize the fact that will have to read the book again because I will understand some deeper thoughts better, which the author wanted to tell her readers. I advise you to read that book as well.
